Getting stuck in a snow storm is never fun and getting your car stuck in ditch or anywhere else where it can't move usually means you have to dig it out with a shovel. Unless, that is, your Reddit user mbarts12, who just throws down his floor mats for makeshift traction.

If you're rolling in a 2WD vehicle, you'll need to throw them down underneath whichever two wheels are spinning, but other than that, it's a tool free means to provide enough traction to get your car moving again. You will, of course, probably scuff up your floor mats a little in the process, but at least you'll be on your way home again.
